Simple Dinner

This dinner looks really simple and it was to make but taste so YUMMY! Salad, fruit, I love fruit in salad. I like the sweet with the lettuce! I am out of red onions, those are my favorite in salad and I keep forgetting to buy more. I put avocado in as well a little dressing and the meat is seasoned pork tenderloin and tender it was. A great easy meal. I even ate it in the garage watching the kids play. Yummy!

Raspberry Brownies

Oh my gosh you can see the raspberries on the right side....in the middle you can see the jam oozing out of icing! YUMMY!


I got this recipe from my mother-in-law, she bought this book and I copied the recipe out of the book. She never actually made it!

I of course have modified it as I do with most recipes I make. First of all it made WAY too many brownies for my family to consume and not get fat. (read me for family) So next time I make it I will half the recipe and put half the jam and twice the raspberries. And a recipe with 4 eggs! CRAZY.

1cup of butter and 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips, I never use milk chocolate because I do not like the taste so I used bittersweet. So melt the butter and chocolate in a saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat and add 2 cups of sugar, 4 eggs, 2 tsp of vanilla and beat until smooth.

Sift together 1 1/4 cups of flour, 1tsp pf baking powder, then add 1/4 tsp kosher salt and stir into choco batter then fold in 1 pint of fresh raspberries.

Transfer to 9 x 13 buttered pan. Bake at 350 for 30 to 35 mins. Cool. While brownies cool make ganache. The ganache is 8 oz of bittersweet chocolate (60% +) melt that then pour over boiled heavy cream (1 cup) ans stir until smooth then add 1 cup of raspberry jam. When brownies are almost cold (I could not wait) pour the ganache over the brownies and cool for an hour at least, more like 2 in the fridge. Then serve.

Enjoy!
